JPSS-2 will be renamed NOAA-21 when it reaches its final orbit.
NASA developed the ground system for JPSS, and NOAA operates and maintains the ground system.
Lockheed Martin Space, working with NVIDIA under contract, will develop an Earth Observations Digital Twin to provide NOAA with high-resolution, accurate, and timely depictions of global conditions using current satellite and ground-based observations.
Lockheed Martin and NVIDIA are collaborating to build an AI-driven Earth Observations Digital Twin to provide NOAA with a centralized approach to monitor global environmental conditions, including extreme weather events.
L3Harris Technologies’ Cross-Track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) launched aboard NOAA’s Joint Polar Satellite System-2 (JPSS-2) weather satellite.
The CrIS instrument onboard JPSS-2 orbits the Earth 14 times a day and gathers hyperspectral infrared content that aids NOAA in nowcasting and global long-term forecasts.
GeoOptics will process radio occultation data for NASA to a higher degree of accuracy than the data the company provides to NOAA for weather forecasting.
GeoOptics has supplied radio occultation data to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for weather forecasts since 2020.
MyRadar is expanding from weather forecasts to wildfire detection and mitigation with funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
MyRadar's fire detection app is designed to improve temporal and spatial coverage compared with NASA and NOAA imagery and to deliver billions of alerts per year to users.
MyRadar received a $150,000 Small Business Innovation Research grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in late October to test the feasibility of wildfire detection and mitigation technology.
A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket carrying the Joint Polar Satellite System-2 mission for NOAA and NASA and NASA’s LOFTID lifted off on 2022-11-10 at 1:49 a.m. PST from Space Launch Complex-3 at Vandenberg Space Force Base.
JPSS-1, also known as NOAA-20, launched in 2017.
JPSS-2 will be renamed NOAA-21 when it enters service for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
NOAA-21 (JPSS-2) will join NOAA-20 and Suomi NPP in providing weather data from polar orbit.
JPSS-2 is the second of four planned polar-orbiting weather satellites in the Joint Polar Satellite System program to provide weather data for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
JPSS-1 was built by Ball Aerospace, launched in 2017, and operates in service as NOAA-20.
Spire Global was awarded a NOAA contract to develop a sensor with hyperspectral microwave sensing technology on a 16U satellite to collect near real-time weather observations and improve measurements.
Spire was awarded a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration contract to develop a sensor with hyperspectral microwave sensing technology on a 16U satellite to collect near real-time weather observations.
NOAA indicates that as dependence on technology increases, so does the dependence on space weather monitoring and forecasting.
